Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Japan and Costa Rica is underway.
  • 5' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Takumi Minamino, as he is very good at scoring at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' - Costa Rica is showing some good football. However, Costa Rica are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 25' - Costa Rica seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 30' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Francisco Calvo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.
  • 40' - Joel Campbell needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 41' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Anthony Contreras.
  • 42' - Anthony Contreras is having his name booked by the referee on 42.
  • 44' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Miki Yamane on 44.
  • 46' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Takuma Asano is hanging Ayase Ueda on the field on 46 minute.
  • 51' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Wataru Endo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 56' - Costa Rica looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Keysher Fuller scoring 1 goals.
  • 61' - Celso Borges is having his name booked by the referee on 61.
  • 62' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Celso Borges on 62.

  • 71' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Francisco Calvo.
